This review will be divided into the different volumes: Volume 1 - Crimson Rebellion A story initially centered around Raizo, the main character, embarking on a quest for revenge against the traitor who sold out his clan. The initial atmosphere matches both the grim bits and the occasional levity of the original Akame ga Kill story, but after a few the story evolves and includes original elements that build an extended universe and lay the seeds for the wild stuff in later volumes. The story themes also transition from Revenge to finding a Greater Purpose which slowly brightens up the tone alongside Raizo's development from a revenge-driven boy to a man. So what you may initially dismiss as simply being edgy is actually building up character growth, which is nice. In terms of writing the quality is consistently great without many mistakes and the story development is also pretty good. Volume 1 is a solid 8 out of 10 in my book. Volume 2 - Crimson Reckoning Part 1 This is where the seeds planted in the first volume start to unfold. A new faction is introduced to the war and the presence of other worlds and crossover elements are slowly weaved into the narrative. Ultimately leading up to the introduction of several new characters and revealations. It is more of volume 1 initially, but at the same time it's playing its cards right to establish more and more with stakes rising to match that. Volume 3 - Crimson Reckoning Part 2 This is where the wild elements that a more prominent role with the story being centered around Raizo going into other universes for reasons, which leads to a grandiose adventure that ends up featuring a lot of anime you may or not be familiar with. The strong character development and world-building continues in this arc stronger than before. Your enjoyment will vary depending on how familiar you are with all the anime, but it's an enjoyable read. The characters are also quite strong at this point so if you're into that then that's also a good point. --- Overall this is a pretty good fic, very long-form (Over a million words) so take your time with it and it'll slowly unfold before your eyes. Worth a shot.

Finally at the end of volume 1, a solid read.

Akaro this entire chapter
Props to the writer for portraying Akame as being much more skilled than Raizo at this point. Don't know why? Well, for starters the Blood Wolves at the point in which they are established here in the Akame ga Kill! Lore (5+ years prior to the main events) would actually exist simultaneously with the Elite Seven from Akame ga Kill Zero (This being Akame's group and the assassination unit meant to be the deadliest killers in the Empire). Meaning the unspoken implication here is that the Empire planned to replace the old Blood Wolves with younger, brainwashed killers that follow orders rather than a code. This ends up being a great use of showing and implying the intentions of the Empire rather than outright telling. It also shows that Akame (Who was trained to be a top assassin) is in fact stronger and more skilled since she completed her training whereas Raizo had his clan wiped out when he was 13 and has mostly been completing assignments for the Revolutionary Army instead of working on any refinement of his skills. It all comes together well and shows attention to the lore and world of the original series. This also gives Raizo something to work towards—surpassing Akame, who is now becoming a mentor figure to him. So all in all, props for the good writing.
Spoilers: She is fine actually. She becomes an important character later on.
A solid start thus far with a lot of effort put into the writing. The concept is familiar, but it works well in the world of AGK.
